Pete Broberg, signed out of Dartmouth, made a scintillating debut with the Senators, but after the rookie righthander was lifted in the seventh inning, the Red Sox rallied to gain a 4-3 victory. Frank Howard homered for the Senators' runs in the sixth. Broberg allowed only two hits until the seventh when George Scott was hit by a pitch and Bob Montgomery singled.

Paul Lindblad failed in relief, giving up a double by Billy Conigliaro, driving in two runs, and a single by Phil Gagliano that tied the score. In the ninth, with Horacio Pina on the mound for the Senators, Doug Griffin was safe on an error, Montgomery sacrificed and John Kennedy singled to drive in the winning run for the Red Sox.
